Manufacturer Provided Description

The new J/121 (pronounced 1-2-1) is a 40’ offshore speedster that can be day raced or distance sailed by just 5 or fewer crew…. the best short-handed J ever…. capable of winning on any race track while also excelling in daysailing and weekend mode. Here’s a boat, class and program that redefines sailboat racing as a recreation and shared adventure with friends, reducing the focus on specialization and athletic short-course W/L racing.  The J/121 fulfills the growing need to simplify life and reconnect with those you really want to sail with on a boat that’s pure magic to sail. Why a New 40 Footer?Sailing continues to adapt to the rapidly changing demographics, technology and social trends of an ever more hectic world.  As our lives become more fast-paced so does the need to escape from the time constraints, pressures and burdens.  “Always on, always connected” is leading the drive to “get away” to a place that can nourish and recharge the soul.  Nowhere is that more evident than the extraordinary growth of adventure travel, providing people a much needed outlet through outdoor, shared experiences with others. The challenge is trying to align 8-10 people onto the same schedule.  This obstacle alone is impacting keelboat racing participation across the board in most areas. Just as technology is making it easier to sail, the over-reliance on crew is making it more complicated.  Two of the positive growth areas in sailing today are one-design class racing in trailerable boats, and short-handed day racing and fun point to point events.   The global success of the new J/70 is a direct result of pent-up demand for an affordable one-design with a pre-planned circuit and easy entry.  The travel and event logistics for four people are infinitely easier than that of 8-10.  For those sailing larger keelboats, it’s the charity pursuit races and day distance events like San Francisco’s Three Bridge Fiasco that are becoming increasingly popular.  And it’s no surprise why.  These events pack a lot of sailing fun and adventure into more acceptable, smaller doses that require less practice and time to manage.
